its a tax on people who don't understand probability On an 800 million dollar pot your chances of winning are zero if you buy no ticket. However, if you buy one ticket for the aforementioned pot, your chance of winning increases infinitely over having no ticket... Buying two tickets for the pot though, as you point out, is a lack of understanding probabilities,,,

A friend of mine won 1 million on the Maine state lottery years ago. He was already a millionaire.

I think I either won $100 or $50 once. I can't remember. It was a scratch off but I don't play the lottery very often. I think it's a waste of money. I'll play the big lotto's when it's super high but normally, that's about it.
I BELIEVE IN MY GOD, MY COUNTRY AND IN MYSELF.

Wife bought tickets with a pool of people at work 30 years ago. The group won $4,000. I think she walked away with $150. I once won $4 with a pool at my work. I "invested" it back into the pool and lost it all.

Lol....best I ever did was a bunch of years back.
Came home one day and there was a message on my answering machine. Kinda listened to it quick. " This is so and so , please call me , you have won a prize "
Yeah , right.....deleted the message.
Couple days later , I'm watching TV and the phone rings." I'm so and so and you have won a prize." I'm half listening and watching TV. I'm thinking what is this person selling ? Vinyl siding , replacement windows , new roof ?
Turns out I won a 2004 Polaris ATP 500cc quad and a nice Aluminum trailer that could haul 2 quads from the Pennsylvania trappers assn. It was the grand prize. Worth together about $9000 I had been to many sportsmen's shows over the years and had bought tickets at almost all of them to help out various causes like trapping , hunting and NRA things. Never really thought I would win much , just wanted to help.
Had to drive out to Pennsylvania to pick it up , but that wasn't a problem. Mucho thanks to the Pennsylvania trappers assn for the win.
